Piers’ fans appeared to agree with him, with one person writing: “ Yeah. There’s no need for this tbh.”

A second follower wrote: “You know it's gonna be a strange day when you agree with @piersmorgan. As a mum I know how impressionable kids are. They have a responsibility to be good roles models to their fans.”

A third person commented: “@piersmorgan I agree with you on this, she has lots of impressionable young fans and is in a position of influence. With such high levels of gun crime I think it’s irresponsible. I feel it is also quite insensitive and of course it had to be flaunted on social media.”

Jesy also revealed she got a permanent etching on her face beside her ear of a Q above the outline of a heart [Jesy Nelson/ Instagram]
